Feature Overview

Route-Switch-Controller Handover Redundancy on the Cisco AS5850, with its provision of handover-split mode, provides the first phase of high availability to the Cisco AS5850 platform.

If your gateway contains two route-switch-controller (RSC) cards, you can configure your Cisco AS5850 into either of two split modes: classic split or handover split.

Classic-Split Mode

Classic-split (the default) mode maximizes system throughput by splitting slots between two RSCs. Each RSC controls a certain set of slots (slots 0-5 are owned by the RSC in slot 6 and slots 8-13 are owned by the RSC in slot 7), and operates as though slots other than those that it controls contain no cards because those cards are controlled by the other RSC. Configuration on each RSC affects only the slots owned by that RSC. Calls on a failed RSC are lost, but calls on the functioning RSC continue normally. Operating a Cisco AS5850 in classic-split mode is the same as having two Cisco AS5850s, each with a separate set of cards.

Handover-Split Mode

Handover-split mode maximizes system availability by allowing an RSC to automatically take control of the slots, cards, and calls of the other RSC should that other RSC fail. Each RSC is configured identically as appropriate for the full set of cards. During normal operation, both RSCs are active, handling their own slots, cards, and calls just as in classic-split mode. Should an RSC fail, the other RSC takes over control of the failed RSC’s slots, goes into extraload state, restarts the failed RSC’s cards, and handles newly arrived calls on those cards--although calls on the failed RSC are lost at the moment of failure. The failed RSC, should it recover or be restarted, remains in standby state until you instruct the active RSC to hand back its newly acquired slots to the standby RSC. This is, in effect, split dial shelf with handover capability.

Alternately, to use system resources most efficiently, you can operate with one of the two RSCs initially and intentionally in extraload state. In this configuration, RSCA initially controls all slots in the chassis and RSCB is in standby mode, ready to take over should RSCA fail. This allows you to overcome the limits of normal classic-split mode in which, because only six slots are available per RSC, an optimal combination of trunk and DSP cards is difficult to achieve. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions section.

Benefits

High Availability

RSC Handover Redundancy for the Cisco AS5850, enabled in handover-split mode, eliminates any single point of failure, subsequent downtime, and required user intervention to resolve unrecoverable hardware faults. This improves service availability and reduces both service-affecting time and service interruption.

Restrictions

RSC Card Requirements

You must have two RSC cards installed in your Cisco AS5850 system chassis.

Performance Load and Possible Trunk-Card and Port-Density Limitations

The number of CT3, T1, or E1 trunk cards that your system can support depends on the split mode in which it is configured to operate. In classic-split mode, an RSC card needs to handle the trunk cards in its own half only. In handover-split mode, an RSC card needs to be able to handle the full load of trunk cards across the entire chassis. In either case, the number of trunk cards allowed should not exceed the performance load of the handling RSC card.

For further information about performance loads, refer to the tables on Cisco AS5850 universal port capacities in the overview chapter of Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide

Throughput Versus Availability

You must choose between maximal throughput and maximal availability:

  • Disabling the handover redundancy by configuring classic-split mode provides maximal throughput, at the expense of availability.

  • Enabling handover redundancy by configuring handover-split mode provides maximal availability, at the expense of throughput.

Dropped Calls

Calls on a failed RSC, regardless of mode, are lost at the moment of failure.

Fixed Slot Assignments

Slot assignments are fixed and cannot be changed except by a system in handover-split mode during handover. Slots 0-5 are owned by the RSC in slot 6, and slots 8-13 are owned by the RSC in slot 7.

Determining Platform Support Through Cisco Feature Navigator

Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that support specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.

Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or release. Under the release section, you can compare releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features in common.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and software image support. Cisco Feature Navigator enables you to determine which Cisco IOS and Catalyst OS software images support a specific software release, feature set, or platform. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​go/​fn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

Availability of Cisco IOS Software Images

Platform support for particular Cisco IOS software releases is dependent on the availability of the software images for those platforms. Software images for some platforms may be deferred, delayed, or changed without prior notice. For updated information about platform support and availability of software images for each Cisco IOS software release, refer to the online release notes or, if supported, Cisco Feature Navigator.

Prerequisites

RSC Cards

Be sure that you have two RSC cards installed in your Cisco AS5850, one in slot 6 and one in slot 7.

Trunk Cards

If you have CT3, T1, or E1 trunk cards in your Cisco AS5850, be sure that you have a supportable number. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions.

Cisco IOS Image

  • For classic-split mode, it is advisable, although not mandatory, to configure each RSC with the same Cisco IOS image.

  • For handover-split mode, it is mandatory that you configure each RSC with the same Cisco IOS image and the same configuration except for the IP address on egress interfaces. Your Cisco IOS image must support redundancy (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T, or later releases).

You must replicate the startup configuration for all line cards in the system in both RSCs’ saved configurations to ensure correct operation after a handover.

  • You can download software configurations to your Cisco AS5850 using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or a Telnet connection. To learn how to upgrade your Cisco IOS image, go to the Cisco.com website for Cisco AS5850 Product Documentation , locate the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide , and consult the chapter on provisioning.

Configuration Tasks

See the following sections for configuration tasks for this feature. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional. Note that you must configure and verify either classic-split mode (the default) or handover-split mode.

Configuring Classic-Split Mode

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    Router# configuration terminal

    2.    Router(config)# redundancy

    3.    Router(config-red)# mode classic-split

    4.    Router# copy running-config startup-config

    5.    Router# reload


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 Router# configuration terminal 

    Enters configuration mode.

     
    Step 2 Router(config)# redundancy 

    Enters configuration-redundancy mode.

     
    Step 3 Router(config-red)# mode classic-split 

    Selects classic-split (the default) mode.

     
    Step 4 Router# copy running-config startup-config 

    Copies the running configuration into the startup configuration.

     
    Step 5 Router# reload 

    Reloads the RSC.

     
    What to Do Next

    Connect to each RSC in turn and enter these commands.


    Note


    Classic-split mode is the default mode. If you do not perform these steps, your system defaults to this mode.



    Note


    These steps simply configure the system to classic-split mode. You must also configure each of the cards manually.


    A classic-split system appears to SNMP management applications as two separate Cisco AS5850s. You must conduct a console session for each RSC (two console sessions) to configure your splits. The system controller manages a classic-split configuration as two separate Cisco AS5850 universal gateways.

    Network management systems (NMSs) such as the Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (Cisco UGM) are available that provide a single system view of multiple points of presence (POPs) as they monitor performance and log accounting data. An NMS has a graphical user interface (GUI); runs on a UNIX SPARC station; and includes a database-management system, polling engine, trap management, and map integration.The NMS can be installed at a remote facility so that you can access multiple systems through a console port or Web interface.

    In classic-split mode, it is desirable--and, with an NMS, essential--to use four unique IDs, one for each RSC and one for each set of slots. In some cases, however, it is sufficient to use the same ID for the two RSCs.

    Verifying Classic-Split Mode

    In classic-split mode, most show commands (with exceptions noted below) display information for only those slots owned by the RSC; they look and behave as they would if there were no cards in the slots that the RSC does not own. To see show command information for a slot, you must connect to the RSC that owns that slot.

    Enter any of the following commands, in any order.

    • To display information about all slots, regardless of ownership, enter the show context all command in EXEC mode.

    • To display information about owned slots, enter the show contextcommand in EXEC mode without the all option.

    • To display additional relevant output, including whether an RSC is running in classic-split mode and, if so, which slots it owns, enter the show chassis command in EXEC mode.

        Step 3 Router# reload 

        Reloads the RSC.

         
        What to Do Next

        The net result, when you are done, is that all cards are configured on each RSC.


        Note


        These steps simply configure the system to handover-split mode. You must also manually configure each card on both RSCs.



        Note


        By default, a single RSC can handle only up to two CT3 cards. You can release this restriction by using the no dial-config-guidelines command. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions.


        Verifying Handover-Split Mode

        Enter any of the following commands, in any order.

        • To indicate whether handover is enabled and whether this RSC is active or standby, enter the show redundancy states command in EXEC mode.

        RouterA# show redundancy states
               my state = 13 -ACTIVE 
             peer state = 13 -ACTIVE 
                   Mode = Duplex
                   Unit = Preferred Primary
                Unit ID = 6
          Redundancy Mode = Handover-split: If one RSC fails, the peer RSC will take over the feature boards
         Maintenance Mode = Disabled
             Manual Swact = Enabled
           Communications = Up
                    client count = 3
         client_notification_TMR = 30000 milliseconds
                  keep_alive TMR = 4000 milliseconds

        • To display details of any pending handover, enter the show redundancy handover command in EXEC mode.

        RouterA# show redundancy handover
        No handover pending
        
        • To display up to 256 relevant debug entries, enter the show redundancy debug-log command in EXEC mode.

        • To display additional relevant output, enter the show chassis command in EXEC mode. In handover-split mode, this command shows the RSC to be configured with all slots of the entire chassis, regardless of whether the RSC owns the slots or not. Slots owned by the peer RSC are shown to be in the ignore state, properly configured and ready to go.

        The following example shows output for two RSCs in normal-load state.

        Troubleshooting Tips

        Command

        Purpose

        Router#
         debug redundancy as5850

        Enables or disables redundancy-related debug options (hardware lines, master RSC, FSM events, mode, RF client). Use to view specific relevant debug options. All debug entries continue to be logged even if you disable an option here, and you can always use the show redundancy debug-log command to view them.

        Monitoring and Maintaining Handover Redundancy

        Command

        Purpose

        Router#
         redundancy handover
         cancel | peer-resources   shelf-resources  [busyout-period  mins
         at  hh:mm   day month year]

        Specifies or cancels handover of slots between RSCs. Use during Cisco IOS image upgrades and to return control of slots to an RSC that failed but is now back in service. Specify handover of slots belonging either to the peer RSC (peer-resources) or to the RSC on which the command is run (shelf-resources). Optionally, specify either or both of the following: length of time for which and exact time at which slots should be busied out before handover.

        Note   

        The shelf-resources option causes the RSC to reload.


        Note


        You can detect if an RSC is in extraload with control of the entire chassis resources by observing that the master LED for that RSC is on. You can also detect this state by using the show redundancy states command.


        The following example shows two instances of handover scheduling, verification, cancellation, and verification of cancellation:

        RouterA# redundancy handover shelf-resources busyout-period 10 at 16:15 5 Sept 2001
        Newly entered handover schedule:
        Busyout period at 16:15:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
        Handover pending at 16:25:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
        Clear calls, handover and reload as specified above?[confirm]
        RouterA# show redundancy handover
        Busyout period at 16:15:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
        Handover pending at 16:25:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
        RouterA# redundancy handover cancel
        Scheduled handover is cancelled
        RSC-Slot6# show redundancy handover
        No handover pending
        RouterA# redundancy handover peer-resources busyout-period 10 at 16:37 5 Sep 2001
        Newly entered handover schedule:
        Busyout period at 16:37:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
        Handover pending at 16:47:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
        Clear calls and handover as specified above?[confirm]
        RouterA# show redundancy handover
        Busyout period at 16:37:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
        Handover pending at 16:47:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
        RouterA# redundancy handover cancel
        Scheduled handover is cancelled
        RouterA# show redundancy handover
        No handover pending

        Configuration Examples

        The following example shows a startup configuration that supports redundancy. Note, in the sections on resource-pool range and controller numbers, that every card in the chassis is configured.

        Feature Overview

        Route-Switch-Controller Handover Redundancy on the Cisco AS5850, with its provision of handover-split mode, provides the first phase of high availability to the Cisco AS5850 platform.

        If your gateway contains two route-switch-controller (RSC) cards, you can configure your Cisco AS5850 into either of two split modes: classic split or handover split.

        Classic-Split Mode

        Classic-split (the default) mode maximizes system throughput by splitting slots between two RSCs. Each RSC controls a certain set of slots (slots 0-5 are owned by the RSC in slot 6 and slots 8-13 are owned by the RSC in slot 7), and operates as though slots other than those that it controls contain no cards because those cards are controlled by the other RSC. Configuration on each RSC affects only the slots owned by that RSC. Calls on a failed RSC are lost, but calls on the functioning RSC continue normally. Operating a Cisco AS5850 in classic-split mode is the same as having two Cisco AS5850s, each with a separate set of cards.

        Handover-Split Mode

        Handover-split mode maximizes system availability by allowing an RSC to automatically take control of the slots, cards, and calls of the other RSC should that other RSC fail. Each RSC is configured identically as appropriate for the full set of cards. During normal operation, both RSCs are active, handling their own slots, cards, and calls just as in classic-split mode. Should an RSC fail, the other RSC takes over control of the failed RSC’s slots, goes into extraload state, restarts the failed RSC’s cards, and handles newly arrived calls on those cards--although calls on the failed RSC are lost at the moment of failure. The failed RSC, should it recover or be restarted, remains in standby state until you instruct the active RSC to hand back its newly acquired slots to the standby RSC. This is, in effect, split dial shelf with handover capability.

        Alternately, to use system resources most efficiently, you can operate with one of the two RSCs initially and intentionally in extraload state. In this configuration, RSCA initially controls all slots in the chassis and RSCB is in standby mode, ready to take over should RSCA fail. This allows you to overcome the limits of normal classic-split mode in which, because only six slots are available per RSC, an optimal combination of trunk and DSP cards is difficult to achieve. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions section.

        Benefits

        High Availability

        RSC Handover Redundancy for the Cisco AS5850, enabled in handover-split mode, eliminates any single point of failure, subsequent downtime, and required user intervention to resolve unrecoverable hardware faults. This improves service availability and reduces both service-affecting time and service interruption.

        Restrictions

        RSC Card Requirements

        You must have two RSC cards installed in your Cisco AS5850 system chassis.

        Performance Load and Possible Trunk-Card and Port-Density Limitations

        The number of CT3, T1, or E1 trunk cards that your system can support depends on the split mode in which it is configured to operate. In classic-split mode, an RSC card needs to handle the trunk cards in its own half only. In handover-split mode, an RSC card needs to be able to handle the full load of trunk cards across the entire chassis. In either case, the number of trunk cards allowed should not exceed the performance load of the handling RSC card.

        For further information about performance loads, refer to the tables on Cisco AS5850 universal port capacities in the overview chapter of Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide

        Throughput Versus Availability

        You must choose between maximal throughput and maximal availability:

        • Disabling the handover redundancy by configuring classic-split mode provides maximal throughput, at the expense of availability.

        • Enabling handover redundancy by configuring handover-split mode provides maximal availability, at the expense of throughput.

        Dropped Calls

        Calls on a failed RSC, regardless of mode, are lost at the moment of failure.

        Fixed Slot Assignments

        Slot assignments are fixed and cannot be changed except by a system in handover-split mode during handover. Slots 0-5 are owned by the RSC in slot 6, and slots 8-13 are owned by the RSC in slot 7.

        Related Features and Technologies

        Router-Shelf Redundancy

        The Router-Shelf Redundancy feature that is available on the Cisco AS5800 is similar to RSC Handover Redundancy on the Cisco AS5850.

        Determining Platform Support Through Cisco Feature Navigator

        Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that support specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.

        Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or release. Under the release section, you can compare releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features in common.

        Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and software image support. Cisco Feature Navigator enables you to determine which Cisco IOS and Catalyst OS software images support a specific software release, feature set, or platform. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​go/​fn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

        Availability of Cisco IOS Software Images

        Platform support for particular Cisco IOS software releases is dependent on the availability of the software images for those platforms. Software images for some platforms may be deferred, delayed, or changed without prior notice. For updated information about platform support and availability of software images for each Cisco IOS software release, refer to the online release notes or, if supported, Cisco Feature Navigator.

        Prerequisites

        RSC Cards

        Be sure that you have two RSC cards installed in your Cisco AS5850, one in slot 6 and one in slot 7.

        Trunk Cards

        If you have CT3, T1, or E1 trunk cards in your Cisco AS5850, be sure that you have a supportable number. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions.

        Cisco IOS Image

        • For classic-split mode, it is advisable, although not mandatory, to configure each RSC with the same Cisco IOS image.

        • For handover-split mode, it is mandatory that you configure each RSC with the same Cisco IOS image and the same configuration except for the IP address on egress interfaces. Your Cisco IOS image must support redundancy (Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T, or later releases).

        You must replicate the startup configuration for all line cards in the system in both RSCs’ saved configurations to ensure correct operation after a handover.

        • You can download software configurations to your Cisco AS5850 using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or a Telnet connection. To learn how to upgrade your Cisco IOS image, go to the Cisco.com website for Cisco AS5850 Product Documentation , locate the Cisco AS5850 Universal Gateway Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning Guide , and consult the chapter on provisioning.

          These steps simply configure the system to classic-split mode. You must also configure each of the cards manually.


          A classic-split system appears to SNMP management applications as two separate Cisco AS5850s. You must conduct a console session for each RSC (two console sessions) to configure your splits. The system controller manages a classic-split configuration as two separate Cisco AS5850 universal gateways.

          Network management systems (NMSs) such as the Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (Cisco UGM) are available that provide a single system view of multiple points of presence (POPs) as they monitor performance and log accounting data. An NMS has a graphical user interface (GUI); runs on a UNIX SPARC station; and includes a database-management system, polling engine, trap management, and map integration.The NMS can be installed at a remote facility so that you can access multiple systems through a console port or Web interface.

          In classic-split mode, it is desirable--and, with an NMS, essential--to use four unique IDs, one for each RSC and one for each set of slots. In some cases, however, it is sufficient to use the same ID for the two RSCs.

          Verifying Classic-Split Mode

          In classic-split mode, most show commands (with exceptions noted below) display information for only those slots owned by the RSC; they look and behave as they would if there were no cards in the slots that the RSC does not own. To see show command information for a slot, you must connect to the RSC that owns that slot.

          Enter any of the following commands, in any order.

          • To display information about all slots, regardless of ownership, enter the show context all command in EXEC mode.

          • To display information about owned slots, enter the show contextcommand in EXEC mode without the all option.

          • To display additional relevant output, including whether an RSC is running in classic-split mode and, if so, which slots it owns, enter the show chassis command in EXEC mode.

            Step 3 Router(config-red)# mode handover-split 

            Selects handover-split mode.

             

            Configuring Handover-Split Mode

            Connect to each RSC in turn, change the running configuration so that all cards are configured on this RSC, and perform the following steps.

            SUMMARY STEPS

              1.    Router# copy running-config startup-config

              2.    Router# dir[/all][filesystem:][file-url]

              3.    Router# reload


            DETAILED STEPS
               Command or ActionPurpose
              Step 1 Router# copy running-config startup-config 

              Copies the running configuration into the startup configuration.

               
              Step 2 Router# dir[/all][filesystem:][file-url] 

              Displays a list of files on a file system. Use to verifiy that the new image is loaded to system Flash memory or the FTP server.

               
              Step 3 Router# reload 

              Reloads the RSC.

               
              What to Do Next

              The net result, when you are done, is that all cards are configured on each RSC.


              Note


              These steps simply configure the system to handover-split mode. You must also manually configure each card on both RSCs.



              Note


              By default, a single RSC can handle only up to two CT3 cards. You can release this restriction by using the no dial-config-guidelines command. For more information on performance loads, see the Restrictions.


              Verifying Handover-Split Mode

              Enter any of the following commands, in any order.

              • To indicate whether handover is enabled and whether this RSC is active or standby, enter the show redundancy states command in EXEC mode.

              RouterA# show redundancy states
                     my state = 13 -ACTIVE 
                   peer state = 13 -ACTIVE

               client_notification_TMR = 30000 milliseconds
                        keep_alive TMR = 4000 milliseconds
                      keep_alive count = 0 
                  keep_alive threshold = 7 
                         RF debug mask = 0x0
              
              • To display logged handover event, enter the show redundancy history command in EXEC mode.

              • To display up to 256 relevant debug entries, enter the show redundancy debug-log command in EXEC mode.

              • To display additional relevant output, enter the show chassis command in EXEC mode. In handover-split mode, this command shows the RSC to be configured with all slots of the entire chassis, regardless of whether the RSC owns the slots or not. Slots owned by the peer RSC are shown to be in the ignore state, properly configured and ready to go.

              The following example shows output for two RSCs in normal-load state.

              Troubleshooting Tips

              Command

              Purpose

              Router#
               debug redundancy as5850

              Enables or disables redundancy-related debug options (hardware lines, master RSC, FSM events, mode, RF client). Use to view specific relevant debug options. All debug entries continue to be logged even if you disable an option here, and you can always use the show redundancy debug-log command to view them.

              Monitoring and Maintaining Handover Redundancy

              Command

              Purpose

              Router#
               redundancy handover
               cancel | peer-resources   shelf-resources  [busyout-period  mins
               at  hh:mm   day month year]

              Specifies or cancels handover of slots between RSCs. Use during Cisco IOS image upgrades and to return control of slots to an RSC that failed but is now back in service. Specify handover of slots belonging either to the peer RSC (peer-resources) or to the RSC on which the command is run (shelf-resources). Optionally, specify either or both of the following: length of time for which and exact time at which slots should be busied out before handover.

              Note   

              The shelf-resources option causes the RSC to reload.


              Note


              You can detect if an RSC is in extraload with control of the entire chassis resources by observing that the master LED for that RSC is on. You can also detect this state by using the show redundancy states command.


              The following example shows two instances of handover scheduling, verification, cancellation, and verification of cancellation:

              RouterA# redundancy handover shelf-resources busyout-period 10 at 16:15 5 Sept 2001

              RouterA# redundancy handover peer-resources busyout-period 10 at 16:37 5 Sep 2001
              Newly entered handover schedule:
              Busyout period at 16:37:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
              Handover pending at 16:47:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
              Clear calls and handover as specified above?[confirm]
              RouterA# show redundancy handover
              Busyout period at 16:37:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001 for a duration of 10 minute(s)
              Handover pending at 16:47:00 PST Wed Sep 5 2001
              RouterA# redundancy handover cancel
              Scheduled handover is cancelled
              RouterA# show redundancy handover
              No handover pending

              Configuration Examples

              The following example shows a startup configuration that supports redundancy. Note, in the sections on resource-pool range and controller numbers, that every card in the chassis is configured.

              Glossary

              classic-split mode --Mode in which system throughput is maximized because slots are split between two RSCs.

              handover --The ability of one part of a system to take over resources that were managed by another part of the system when the latter part fails.

              handover-split mode --Mode in which system availability is maximized because an RSC can automatically take control over the slots, cards, and calls of the other RSC, should that other RSC fail.

              RSC --route switch controller. The card that provides switch functions, routing, management control, clock control, and egress ports.

              service-affecting time --Amount of time during which the system is unable to take new calls or carry the full number of calls.

              service interruption --Event during which an in-progress call is dropped, requiring the user to call back.
